    Hello a greeting to all thank you very much
   for the time I will try to be as clear as possible: I had my Hostgator website
   on a baby plan, but wanted to make several changes. The first change is that 
   I switched to Cloudways (server) which noticeably improved speed, followed by
   this I also entered Cloudflare (free) and changed my name servers in the domain
   so that it pointed to cloudflare… Then in Cloudflare I put the IP of my server
   so that it was OK and now entered from the Cloudwyas server. Until there everything
   was great, the page loaded super fast and everything was wonderful. But when 
   I wanted to put SSL (which apparently Cloudways gives you the option with Let
   ´s encryp) in a super simple way I configured it, but followed by this I made
   2 additional changes The first is that in CLOUDFLARE I put 2 options the first
   in the SSL (cloudflare) part I put Full Encrypts end-to-end, using a self signed
   certificate on the server and also right there at Edge Certificates select ON
   in Always Use HTTPS Redirect all requests with scheme “http” to “https”. This
   applies to all http requests to the zone. (this was turned ON) After this I installed
   a plugin called Really Simple SSL [https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/)
   I activated it on my website … but something additional I did was the ELEMENTOR
   part that the Really Simple SSL plugin itself suggests. [https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/how-to-fix-mixed-content-in-elementor-after-moving-to-ssl/](https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/how-to-fix-mixed-content-in-elementor-after-moving-to-ssl/)
   Well once I did all this my website did NOT reload. for example I enter [https://fotografiabogota.com](https://fotografiabogota.com)
   and if it goes well I want you to give it F5 (at least it stays blank for almost
   5 minutes and never loads) but when I communicate with the cloudways team they
   say it loads perfectly. and send me the link like this [https://fotografiabogota.com/?nocache](https://fotografiabogota.com/?nocache)
   The funny thing is that if it works like this but NOT normal …
